Hi Gert, all, I agree with your summary, and also understand the point that is better to have "something" now and improve it.
In fact, yesterday I expressed the same view in anti-abuse, even against my previous opinion that we should do it "right" in a single "step". Consequently, in view of improving this now "adopted" policy, this afternoon I will work on this a submit a possible improvement proposal to it. I think I will also consider sending a proposal for update this PDP detail. Thanks!

There was quite a bit of discussion in the Last Call, which is unusual, and led to some more discussions between Marco, Sander and me how to evaluate these. We've decided that there is rough consensus to go forward and implement the policy, because the discussions raised did not bring in new objections to the policy itself, or issues with the policy process being followed(*). So, the NCC will start implementing the proposal next week. That said, some good points were raised - Kai Siering reminded me that I need to be a bit less sloppy when summarizing objections raised - I should have spent a few more words pointing to the fact that the NCC's interpretation of the existing IPv6 PI policy has been brought up number of times (by the NCC RS) to the APWG, explaining why they interpret the "no sub-assignment" clause the way they are, and asking for guidance from the WG - which, at no point, brought up the response "single addresses by RA are good!" (so while the WG wasn't fully happy with the *outcome*, nobody challenged the *interpretation*) - Jordi Palet found a mismatch between IA and policy text, and there was discussion about interpretation of policy text, policy intent, and IA when in doubt. Which is, undoubtly, quite a burden for new applicants to figure out what "is OK" and "what is not OK" - so the NCC volunteered to write a guidance page with examples to help explain in more words and easier terms. Of course I'll expect the working group to scrutinize this page very thoroughly :-) - Jordi Palet also brought up the issue that the PDP does not have an "the WG chairs decide to extend the review phase" arrow in its state diagram - it does not. Formally, one would need to close the review phase, declare "not enough input", declare "the next version of the policy proposal has the same text, and we solicit input *again*", and start a new review phase. Which is lots of overhead, so we've been doing this ("this" being "extend a phase *if not enough input received*") for many years now. (Incidentially, the anti-abuse WG had to do the same thing for their current 2017-02 proposal - "not enough clear guidance to declare a result either way", thus, "extend") As soon as this is formally incorporated into the new policy text, I welcome a new round of discussion about the IPv6 PI policy (as stated in the review phase) - ideally, with no formal text to start with, but as a real *discussion* on "where do we want to go?". Formal policy text can come afterwards after there is some sort of rough agreement on the general direction. I'll reserve time for this on the agenda for Marseilles.
